From April 6-8, social protection experts gathered in Addis Ababa to discuss national cash transfer programmes.

The Transfer Project is a joint initiative of the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and Save the Children UK, in partnership with national governments, local and international researchers. Many of the lead researchers are based at the UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti and work together in partnership with UNICEF Headquarters, UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office and UNICEF Country Offices, as well as with leading academic institutions and development networks, both the North and the South.
